[Announcement for entering the fandom]

If you have already been liking B1A4, there is no need to tell you to "read till the end".

(Even though there will be undisclosed selfie and signature at the end) 

However, if you are wondering "Who is that warm guy in Love in the Moonlight?" then you would have to read it carefully.

His hobby is looking for good food & restaurants, his specialty is fencing. You can feel the gap in his hobby and specialty. There is not one similarity between his hobby and specialty. If you hear his job, you would tilt your head even further in confusion.

B1A4's leader, who can do producing, singing, song writing, he is Jinyoung.

Idol, looking for good food & restaurants, fencing. We shall one more connection which makes you feel an even bigger difference. Actor Jinyoung.

Jinyoung is receiving very huge attention for "Love in the Moonlight".

"She is my lover... Your Highness" Kim Yoonseong who did this arrogant confession-but-not-quite-a-confession confession. When asked about how he knew she is a female, he just said because you are a girl, so i'm saying you are a girl. Sharp-sighted, good sense and intensity, Jinyoung based on these to act out Yoonseong.

Anyways, as to how good the degree that Jinyoung is immersed into the character, it had the viewers searching for his profile.

Because it is a period drama, you have to wear "gat" (T/N: that black hat that Jinyoung wears in above image) no matter what. However, this singer guy came out nicely on the screen. Even the tone for period drama fits him. I will watch again.

#me_in_love_in_the_moonlight? its amazing!

Before the drama, Jinyoung had vocal and and pronunciation practices separately as it is his first try at period drama, making great preparations. Analysing the production, rehearsals that looks like actual filming, and even familiarizing his body with the situation. 

(When I saw myself on TV) It felt amazing. Especially when it was my first period drama, so I was more curious about it. Actually, it doesn't feel real that I am in this production, so it felt amazing. Really thank you very much! 

- Jinyoung

Period drama is a genre that is famous for being difficult and tough. During winter, the winds blows and enters through the gap of the hanbok, in summer, clad in layers and layers of hanbok gives off an odour easily. If we were to check out the date in which we saw the scene that made our hearts raced in "Love in the moonlight", it matched with the period where the heat wave was in full swing.

The thing I was worried about the most was whether it was hot, but it was really hot. (laughs) But I gained strength because many people were cheering me on. Ah! There was this one incident! When we were filming, the recording of the audio is really important, but every time the moment I start on my dialogue, there would be a plane flying past. So it was tough haha!

These planes are too much.

#doesnt_lose_out

Jinyoung who is acting alongside with the hottest personnel in the entertainment industry, Park Bogum. However, "What? He is not losing out". Be it in looks or in acting, or in attracting praises, he is getting out there.

Erm.... I.... think I am losing out on a lot.

Such humble young man.

If you were to see what is charming on his face, it would be his eyes. The eyes could do both good and evil stares. For an actor, that is the optimum condition.

I think that being an actor has been one of my dreams. So before debut, since young, I gathered experiences through doing minor roles of supporting roles. Actually, it is hard to move from a countryside to Seoul to live. So I remembered the most about going up (to Seoul) on the weekends.

Is that because of such experiences? Jinyoung had possess such process of being prepared for the production sufficiently in his own way.

I feel that I have always met up with the acting teacher to talk about the production first. After understanding it, then I use my whole body to practice. Also, on the filming site, I will ask the senior actors and learn along the way. Thank you. Haha.

This is where the emphasis is.

Th point that Jinyoung wrote 20 over B1A4 songs like Sweet Girl, Solo Day, Who am I, Lonely and so on. The state of the mind of "The dummy who doesn't know anything but music" probably has above 0.8 thinking about "Love in the moonlight".

Because I want to do it with more emotions, do it more detailed, so I was troubled.

#the_best_tour_course_4_to_understanding_actor_jinyoung

Jinyoung has displayed his acting through various channels after debuting. If you came to know Jinyoung through "Love in the Moonlight", you can watch the video to know a little more about actor Jinyoung's charms.

It is the scene whereby the taxi that Sechan (Jinyoung) was riding in met with an accident with a truck. He displayed passionate acting while having blood makeup, lying on the ground in such cold weather.

2. Singing scene from movie "Miss Granny"

This is the scene where half level basement (Jinyoung) stood in front of Ohduri (Shim Eunkyung) and sang seriously.

3. In the rain scene in drama "Love in the Moonlight"

4. The threatening scene in drama "Love in the Moonlight"

The scene where Yoonseong threatened Eunuch Ma (Choi Daecheol) to keep Raon's secrets.

#Normal_guy_Jinyoung

The Jinyoung whom receievd praised for his genius song writing skills. Through Love in the Moonlight this time round, he successfully expanded his exposure. Not the singer Jinyoung we feel who is miles aways, nor the actor Jinyoung, but we asked about the normal Jinyoung beyond all these.

Q: The things that you liked the most recently?

A: Looking for good food! Since shooting period drama result in heading to the countryside frequently, so I find it fun to find restaurants that sells good food there.

Q: The things that you are addicted to?

A: Looking for songs that will make you feel better! I like songs that make me feel better when I listen to them~ So I have been looking at various kinds of music recently.

Q: About your usual character?

A: I like joking around and I like talking too. And because I don't like situations where there are unhappiness, no matter what situation, I would want to solve them positively.

Q: The point I feel about me that is special?

A: About losing my way...? I am also not sure why I am like that.

#Even_that Still_B1A4_Jinyoung

Still, the noun modifier, B1A4 Jinyoung, is still the most natural.

Looking at B1A4's Jinyoung simply, he debuted in 2011 with Let's Fly. Even though it is still the same even now, when B1A4 first debuted, they were called "comic idols", showing their pride about their visuals. In the middle of that, Jinyoung worked as heavy burdens like producing, song and lyrics writing for B1A4.

<iframe title='B1A4 - Lonely(없구나) [음악중심] 20140201' width='456px' height='340px' src='http://videofarm.daum.net/controller/video/viewer/Video.html?vid=v1302PSHHjjH2SSPrDrpuRp&play_loc=undefined&alert=true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' ></iframe>

Many idol group members have wrote and composed their own songs, and have gotten good results from the market. It's the same for Jinyoung, but the character is different.

This is because the songs that he wrote all by himself is overwhelmingly high. Not working with a producing team, or joint composing, the route Jinyoung took has gained attraction. Among the current idol producer, he is the first to have such results.

Jinyoung who has such great passion for music! He continuously is troubled for B1A4's activities.

Whenever there is a chance, I would write B1A4's music too. As to what kind of music should we have, the members and I are troubled over that. We will soon show good image with all five of us, so please don't feel that it is a pity and wait a little while more~~! Bana, we will meet soon~

Boygroup B1A4's Jinyoung has ascended to the devilish "Joseon Heart throb" in drama "Love in the moonlight".

T/N: Some popular comments were bashing on the other idols and shows so I omitted them. Spread only love! ^^

Be it music, visual, character, the boy group who has it all, B1A4. Gongchan who is in charge of the visual had his birthday on the 14th this month. 

5 years has passed since he debut as B1A4. The maknae was used to be cute has now grown up to be a manly guy. Focus media spoke with the man who has grown more matured on his birthday.

Q: What do you think you will do on your birthday?

A: We have DMZ Peace concert schedule on my birthday. I think we always have a schedule on my birthday. However, I like it that I get to spend my birthday with fans every time.

Q: Your birthday thoughts?

A: I am happy that every time I have my birthday I am spending it with the fans. Because I have banas, my birthday can be fun when every one is together, I can also share the fun, I feel that I was able to create unforgettable memories one by one. I am excited and curious on what kind of memories will we create this year.

Q: What is the significance of birthday to Gongchan?

A: I feel that it is a time that I can look back and reflect about my parents who have given birth to me as well as the people who gave me love. Today on my birthday, more than those who have sent me their birthday greetings, I want to say thank you to those who have been by my side. Because without those people, I wouldn't be here. To them all, thank you and I love you.

Q: In your past birthday interview, you mentioned that you anticipated your aged 24 the most. Did it came as expected?

A: It had already been 3 years since I said that... Doesn't time pass too fast? Even though I am not sure why I said 24 years old... hahaha. If I were to compare to 3 years ago, I think I have grown more mature as Gongchan and Gong Chan Sik, and I have also gained a lot more responsibility for myself.

Q: If you were to choose the age you are looking forward to again?

A: 27 years old. When I had my 21 years old interview, I said it was 3 years later, which is now. As I look back to 3 years ago, many things have happened and I feel that there are lot of things to reflect upon as well. I think that 3 years can be considered a long time, but it can be considered a short time as well. I feel that it is a good time for me to compare the me from now and in the past. I feel that I was able to see on which part have I changed and on which part have I grown more mature. When I become 27, I wonder how different would the 27 years old Gongchan, Gong Chan Sik and 24 years old me has.

Q: What would be the most suitable song for this year's birthday?

A: I don't know if it is a song that suits a birthday, but I would like to recommend Theories of Youth's Nice Dream. When I am in my own personal space called sleep, I can dream about anything. Those dreams becomes great energy to me and it also gives hope to my future. Even though it may be tiring, exhausting and stressful in our daily lives, it would be good to always dream and let the dream become a good force that help you move towards your goals.

Q: You said you would like to go on a camping trip with the members if you were given a birthday off. Did that come true?

A: Even though it was not all of the members, but we went to Bali ^^. Baro hyung, Sandeul hyung and myself went there. It was a pity that due to schedules, Jinyoung hyung and Shinwoo hyung weren't able to join us. We did not have any plans before travelling, 2 days before the trip we decided the place, bought the air tickets, booked the place to stay 1 day before... it was spectacular. However, that was fun. It was a really impromptu trip and everything was fun ^^. We couldn't speak their language so we were expressing ourselves with our body, we plan what we want to do at night, even when it comes to eat, we walked on the streets and says "this looks like it is nice" and enter to eat to our heart's content, it was really a no regrets trip and I think it was really fun. The days when I was with the hyungs, it was fun and happy. Next time, I want to travel with all of the members together!

Q: Do you have any stars you want to received birthday greetings from?

A: Senior Yoo Jaeseok. Yoo Jaeseok has the same birthday as me! I want to greet Senior Yoo Jaeseok happy birthday and I hope he can wish me happy birthday too ^^. I want to discuss a lot of my troubles with him. I also want to chat with him on all on the nice things and I think that I would gain strength if I were to listen to his words.

Q: Is there a goal that you want to fulfil through your birthday wish?

A: There's still 4 months left to the end of 2016. I wish that we can meet the fans a lot through our activities! For that, we will work hard to be together with you guys. A big thankful for waiting and let's only walk on flower path (only happy stuffs)!

Q: Things you hope from the members on your birthday?

A: Jinyoung hyung, Shinwoo hyung, Sandeul hyung, Baro hyung. Even though it is something I always say, but thank you and thank you! I won't forget that I wouldn't be where I am without you guys. You do not need to treat me better. Just stay this way. I will do better be it as Gongchan or Changsik. B1A4 I love you.

Q: Say something thankful to yourself

A: I really like you. Up till now, the way you always give people strength, always staying patient and working hard. I just thank you a lot. You gave strength to me just by existing. Please also stay like this for me in the future. I love you. Gongchan, no, Chansik-ah.

"The process of preparing for the contest itself was fun."

Boygroup B1A4 member Sandeul has been voted as "Legend duet" team. With the win together with CHo Seonyoung on "Duet Song Festival" for the King of Kings battle and set another record. It is yet another opportunity to know about how awesome Sandeul's singing skills are and how valuable he is. He is the brightest shining vocal on MBC Music Variety "Duet Song Festival".

The keywords are music that make people's heart cry with a warming touch and also comfort for the people who heard Sandeul and Cho Seonyoung's songs. As the meet each other's eyes and harmonises, the stage they created one by one are all called "legend" and present to the audiences great 'healing'. Even MC Sung Shikyung watched their performance with a delightful smile. Appearing the most on "Duet Song Festival", the team with most wins, as well as the first champion on "King of Kings battle", the two gave the audiences a great time.

Sandeul and Cho Seonyoung's warming harmony and expressive singing abilities may be good, but more than those, the songs they choose are remarkable. From "As you say", "Road", "Butterfly", "Two Persons", "Etude of memories", "Shall we walk together", as well as "Jasmine flower", those two expresses their hearts through those are meaningful songs. That is why they get better responses.

After King of Kings battle ended, we asked Sandeul about the stage on Duet Song Festival that left Sandeul the most impression. Firstly, the stage Sandeul likes is Sung Shi Kyung's "Two Persons". Even though it is not a song which is suitable for singing for a contest, but they obtained good response through their heart felt feelings, it is a stage that made Sung Shi Kyung felt proud.

Sandeul mentioned "All of the songs left an impression but among them all, I like Sung Shi Kyung's 'Two Persons'. It is a song that I often listen to, it is a song that gives both people comfort calmly. I received healing when I listen to the song, so I really liked it."

Also on the topic of the hardest performance "The hardest stage was Senior Lim Jeonghee's Music is my life. I remembered that my throat condition was really bad. It was a genre that noona likes and I struggled and wondered if I would mess up the performance if I perform this song."

Sandeul was the first to win consecutive three wins, the most appearance, and excluding the King of kings battle, he has four wins on his belt, he emerged as the representative combination for "Duet Song Festival". Sandeul also experience things like "most wanted stage" as well as netizen's first choice for winning. A lot of energy has to be put in because Sandeul has B1A4 as well as individual's schedule, and at the same time he has to prepare for the competition, but he said that it is a pleasure that the process was fun.

He said "Many people get stressed while trying to prepare for competitions but I feel that I took it with pleasure and enjoyed the entire process while preparing. I feel that even though it is a competition, it is not important whether I win or lose." He also laughed and said "It is more important to deliver a performance that fits that. Starting from the choice of the song, the practicing process or to understanding the song, I discuss with noona on her thoughts, fill in the portion that needs more emotion, every moment of the process was fun."

Even though it is hard to see the Sandeul x Cho Seonyoung combi for the time being, but one who can sing well, a vocalist who can deliver healing, it is hard not to anticipation for more activities from Sandeul.
